^ ^ ^ I agree with you, they are also all automatics. They did not continue with the 6spd.

lol maybe that's his "driver mod" since your friend has trouble driving a stick. You can show your friend this little link though: http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews...ive/index.html
That means, of course, that it's essentially a GTI with a 3.2-liter VR6 and all-wheel drive. Unlike the original R32, which had a 6-speed stick, it's available only with VW's famed twin-clutch DSG transmission. Since the DSG can't handle too much more than the R32's 250 horsepower, we won't be hearing too many pissed-off, turbocharged-to-within-inches-of-their-lives Mk5 R32s. At least, that is, until someone reinforces the DSG. And that is, of course, a work already in progress by aftermarket tuners.

It's not a GT2 its an 01 996 turbo has a GT2 wing on it and it belongs to my Pops. I get the great job of fixing the minor things and detailing it. [sarcasm]
